The evening glow plummeted, overly red.
The sweeping crimson appeared as if it had been stained with blood.
The red surface of the lake revealed a protrusion in the middle, gradually exposing its full figure.
With a gaping maw wide open, it seemed capable of swallowing ten Nian Shutongs at once; the gaps between its teeth constantly oozed fiery red lake water.
And that was just the creature's head.
When the entire beast stood up, the lake level dropped by several meters, indicating the enormity of its body.
"Hippo Beast, immense and mighty, with boundless strength and invincible defense."
Daodao's timely explanation left Nian Shutong gazing at the Hippo Beast in front of her, devoid of any of the earthly hippopotamus's naivety and cuteness, seeing only its fierce expression.
Its teeth were no longer flat but jagged.
"Moo-roar—"
An unrecognizable cry, either of a cow or something else, echoed across the distance, causing delicate ripples on the surface of the lake.
